Former WWE Performer Upset With Being Called A Turkey

[PHX]

Former WWE performer Vito LoGrasso (a/k/a Vito) responded to WWE.com listing him among the seven biggest turkeys to ever trot the squared circle.

He stated Friday on Facebook, "A lot of people are upset with the WWE today. They spoke of me in a negative way which put the fans in shock. How would they post something like this on a holiday?! I have a family and the kids are all upset. I thought they had an anti-bullying policy."

The former WCW World Tag Team Champion posted dozens of messages on Twitter chastising his former employer for their bullying tactics. He added, "If you ever been bullied you know how it feels. Good night Joey Styles, where ever you are."

Vito also reacted to being labeled a turkey in an interview with Gerweck.net. He says he plans to take the matter to GLAAD and TMZ, pointing out the hypocrisy in WWE bullying him.

Former WWE talent Nick Cvjetkovich (a/k/a Kizarny) shared similar sentiments regarding his former employer's demeaning piece as he called it "a dick move" in a YouTube video Friday.

He added on Twitter, "So much for anti-bullying @WWE @JoeyStyles. Receiving tons of positive messages is the only thing that saved my Thanksgiving that u wrecked!"

Good lord getting so mad over something that isn't even supposed to be taken that serious.

I forgot Vito existed.

Still, they went a bit over the line.

Mind you Kizarny never wanted to use the Carnival gimmick, WWE gave it to him and he told them it wouldn't work. He lasted one week before they got rid of him, if you've seen his Indy work as Sinn Bodhi you'd know he's actually quite talented.

So, with Vito and Kizarny bitching over this... Well, they do have that Anti-Bullying shit and they went a bit over the line there.

It just a fun article poking a bit of fun. They should be honored WWE even recognized them as of now.

How is this bullying?

WWE pointed out some terrible gimmicks from the past and linked it to the holiday by calling them a turkey. Some people are so precious these days and these two just want to get publicity since they were never big stars.

I can understand where they are coming from, Wrestling is their craft and to be undermined by a former employer must be frustrating.

I am one of the type of fans who remember the little guys in the WWE. And I do remember Vito from the Ruthless Aggression Era and I can understand how he would be upset at being called a turkey on WWE.com, just put yourself in his shoes...or should I say dress?

Also, WWE misused the hell out of Kizarny. They spit in the face of Kizarny from how quick they had him in the company on the main roster (on SmackDown). Kizary could have gone A LOT further in the WWE if WWE could have utilized him a lot better. But then again Kizarny did debut in the PG Era. And WWE's Creative Team and Management is crippled when it comes to handling the Superstars & Divas they bring in correctly.

These guys are taking this way to seriously, they shouldn't freak out about WWE saying something about them, at least they are getting something said about them.

Yeah, WWE misused Kizarny as soon as they gave him the circus act.

Some old people from that other forum that shall not be named will know that I was a HUGE Kizarny fan, and still am to this day. One of my favorites of all time.

However, I do agree with them. This does kind of poke fun at what they loved, calling them a "turkey" or basically a failure, when it was WWE that killed their career. They could have been more if WWE had given them dumb ass gimmicks. Although I loved the Kizarny gimmick, and made one hell of a heel character out of it in an E-Fed I was in. Kizarny is still my favorite person to play in E-Feds.
